J.J. Hardy: (Shoulder) To Have Investigatory Procedure Monday

Hardy will have an investigatory procedure on his left shoulder Monday and will not play before Tuesday, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

Analysis:

The procedure is called an MRA, which involves injecting dye in the injured shoulder to see if it is a new injury or not. Hardy previously had labrum surgery on his left shoulder in 2004, so the MRA won't come back clean, but it should provide the Orioles with more information. Both Hardy and the team said the injury was not believed to be serious after he sustained the injury Friday, so it's not time to panic, but this is certainly something to keep an eye on over the coming days.
